Words can't describe how much I appreciate and love this anime, from the story of the LN, to the delivery of the anime. This became my fav anime by far and I highly doubt something can come along and beat it. I got pretty emotional when they showed the sao version of kirito and asuna. Even though the idea is cliche nowadays, this time it's still so meaningful and symbolic that you can't help but feel good inside.

Spoiler:

The only thing i had an issue with for this ep was the fact that kirito dropped the knife right in front of suguo again when he decided not to kill him.. the heck? Ya i'm nitpicking but I suppose for an anime taht i really want to be perfect, nitpicking is a by product of that feeling.

I'm such a huge support of kirito x asuna that I honestly wouldn't mind at all if the second season's just called Asuna and Kirito's Daily Life. For some reason I just can't get tired of watching them together, completely diff from how i feel about other anime relationship.

Alas, until the second season come out, i'm gonna have to get sao merchandise like no others to keep me happy in the mean time. Speak of which, anyone seen this Asuna figure that just came out on preorder? it's damn beautifulhttp://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/267...na+Figure.html

I've seen a timeframe of 2014 being bandied about, which makes sense as A-1 needs to get the LNs finished before they can adapt.

I don't think there is any need for them to wait for the light novels are finished or anything (there is plenty of material), but any production takes time to coordinate. It's probably that the studio and many of the key staff are already committed to working on other shows in the months ahead, so they have to book it. It takes many months of planning before they even start animating a show (and months after that until the first episode is ready).

Anyway, this is a topic that is probably better reserved for one of the speculation threads.

They would need to plan for a longer then 1 year season for more novel material to be released, so no need to wait for that reason. But it will take at least half a year before the next season simply due to the time it takes to schedule stuff. But it's a sure thing that there will be more seasons as SAO is the best seller of this season by a huge margin and with plenty of material left, so would it be madness for them not to keep it going.

Now that the seed is introduced into the internet, what kind of mods/changes/worlds can we expect? Hehehehehheeheheheheeeee... Oh the gaming community. I mean just look at the mods in Skyrim/GTA or something

Spoiler for To keep any potential spoilers for SAO away from those who don't wish to see them.:

Why does Kirito freak out and take his hand away from Asuna's when they are eating lunch? I know Asuna brings up that people can see them, but if they are in love and all that, what would be the problem? The LN didn't really go into detail about it, and I can't seem to figure it out aside from maybe a school rule or something?

Spoiler for Not really a spoiler question but...:

Kirito is kind of shy about public displays of affection. In the Q/A Asuna mentions that she's fine with it but Kirito isn't.

I think she's acting like she's embarrassed (which maybe she is a tiny bit -- him a lot more so), but later on in that same scene she moves way over to lean on his shoulder (which is a lot more embarrassing than holding hands), so I think she isn't really that concerned. After the first incident she does her whole "wow that mistake just cost you your lunch, Mister" *one eye to see his reaction* thing she often does, so I tend to think she's just giving him a hard time.
